We'll be fine once Eriksen turns up.

Only our side would set up to cross into the box a thousand times and leave Llorente on the bench.. he'd have had a hat-trick by now.

He was living on scraps last game.

Why cant spurs just bloody have a comfortable home win for a change. Every game at the moment is such a laborious desperate chore in the 2nd half!

You couldn't make this up ... Poch drops Llorente and THEN the team start slinging crosses into the box at every opportunity ... to a midget front line. If we are going to play this way then I'd take off Lucas or Sissoko and put Llorente on up top.

At which point we'll stop crossing!

Winks and Jan have been outstanding. Lacking in quality in the final third. Eriksen needs a talking to

We've been excellent apart from not scoring.

Attitude, energy and intention has been spot on.

Just need to unlock them and grab one and then the game will open up and we should get a couple more.

Energy could be better. My old man doesn't know much about the sport but he watched 10 minutes with me and noted that in a lot of cases our players weren't moving at all. We've put some good pieces of play together as well, but we could easily step it up a few gears.

Would be nice if one of our players decided to actually shoot once in a while.

C'mon Eriksen get your head and feet in the game!

We need to just keep knocking on the door but cant afford to waste another chance

I know it’s they way some teams have to play to survive. But what a boring way to play. So negative. We have done well so far. But just need the ball to drop. Keep the faith 2-0 COYS!

No, no, no, no, no.

Poch just needs to tell him to keep dropping to where winks is and work in from there.

We need to score - he and sonny are the most likely ones out there to deliver.

Madness to not start Llorente.

The usual predictable, plodding nothingness against a nine man defence. We're far too slow moving the ball around the pitch, switching and no where near enough forward movement off the ball, we make it so easy for the opposition to defend against us.

Lamela and Vertonghen by far the best on the pitch. Son is absent. Trippier has done nothing either. Lucas and Eriksen have been shit.

I thought we were brilliant that half, only thing missing is a goal. Jan has been exceptional on the left despite his lack of mobility.

3 key passes, 3 out of 4 accurate crosses and he doesn't deserve to be out there? Really?

I think we should be delivering many more balls into the box too much looking for the perfect angle only Eriksen Trippier or Vertoghen seem to be allowed to cross the ball. Moura or Son need to play as a central striker and follow the ball in looking for bits off the keeper
